EDITORIAL SERVICES:
Proposal Package Deal:
Line edits and comments for first 3 chapters of a manuscript, query letter and synopsis (50 pages or 15,000 words maximum, including the query and up to 5 page long synopsis), single pass.
Content / Developmental Edits:
Not a line edit, rather a read through of the story commenting on plot problems, point of view inconsistencies, awkward dialog or sentences, time line issues, character development, pacing, style and any unmarketable elements. This kind of a review comes with a 2-4 page report detailing the issues and an annotated manuscript, and receives two passes by the editor. Contact us for a quote!
Line Edits:
A review of the work, line by line, looking at awkward phrases, missing words, typos, repetition, grammar issues, and any inconsistencies in dialogue / terminology. This is a single pass by the editor. Contact us for a quote!
Proofread:
A careful read through of the entire book looking for little errors that may have occurred during revisions, typos, and common errors such as missing or repeated words, and a search for consistency, hyphenation, capitalization, and often confused words. This includes a single pass by an editor and a single pass by a secondary proofreader. Contact us for a quote!
Combined Edits:
A three pass process, with first a content edit and then a line edit, includes all the features listed above plus a third proofread pass and a review of your synopsis and cover copy / query (synopsis and cover copy not included in word count, synopsis limited to 10 pages). Also includes having a second, independent reader proofread the book after the editor’s proofread for a fresh review. Contact us for a quote!
Formatting:
Flat $25 fee for ebook formatting and $25 fee for print formatting. Three sets of changes provided free of charge.
